‘Alan Pardew and whoever conducts West Ham’s transfer business need to
be given a standing ovation at every ground they go to. Manchester
United, Arsenal, and plenty of others must be wondering what the f**k
happened.’ [Caught Offside]
‘"Carlitos Tevez, along with his team-mate Javier Mascherano, signs a contract to play for West Ham United of England." We ignored the third-person reference and instead thought that
surely something had been lost in translation. There is no way that two
of Argentina’s best players could possible have escaped the claws of
the bigger English clubs and have ended up a West Ham, right?’ [The Offside]
‘There’s still much suspicion that Roman Massivelyrichovich – who owns a
controlling stake in Corinthians, the Argentine pair’s previous club –
is behind this coup.’ [Us]
‘OH MY F**KING GOD!!!!!!!!’ [Whu-au]
‘I can’t believe it. The Hammers have signed two
of the best and most promising players in the world! The more I keep
hearing it on the radio and TV the more I can’t believe its actually happened. [Kumb]
